Brewing Suggestions

This springs’ harvest of Imperial Green Oolong was again selected from Taiwan’s famed Fu Shao Shan region. This tea is prized for its hand-rolled leaves, painstakingly made uniform in size and color, and its complex floral lilac notes.

The non aggressive nature of this exceptional Oolong leaves room to experiment with lower temperature and longer infusions. The Imperial Green Oolong’s elegant flavor and complexity becomes much more apparent, displaying the unique richness and viscosity found only in rare, high quality Oolong teas from Taiwan.

We suggest using near boiling water with around 7 grams of tea per 6 oz of water, infuse tea for a short time and decant into another cup to enjoy. Try brewing the tea with near boiling hot water but wait for the tea to cool down a bit before enjoying. Another way to do it is to use hot but mid-temperature water for a longer infusion to get a bit more floral notes and texture. Whichever way you decide to do it, it is best to find and adjust according to your own preferences. As with most Oolongs, the Imperial Green Oolong is perfectly suitable to be used for your “Gongfu Tea” practices, with a “gaiwan” or any other way you prefer.
